You can thank Goglin for the recruiting. He and some of his subordinates contacted all the major scenario groups. Since he is well liked and respected he even drew some groups away from the Shat's team. I already signed on with Kaye before I got the call though. -
Shatner is a player
Shatner was on the field 80% of the game time! As a non playing vendor/fund raiser who was also trying to get photos and a quick interview with Bill, I can tell you he was on the field for the majority of the time. I had a very hard time catching him off field to get some video for my website, and when he was off he was either refilling or doing the live broadcast for the game. One time I did catch him (lunch break), he and Liz(his wife) had just came into his RV staging area and were talking about getting something to eat, but realized they had not come off the field quick enough and probably did not have time to eat before they had to be back on the field. As someone behind the scenes I can tell you Shatner is no figure head and he played the great majority of the time on the field. I am sure many of his commanders will tell you he was all over the place and does not act like he is seventy something at all.Comment

It was definately a great event, even though I was in blue. I had the courage to walk on the feild with my one of my old pumps. I can say with confidence though that I shot some of you suckers. But you guys just made the paint connect more often. We just didn't want it enough. I think that even though I love my pumps its an ULE mag next year for me.
I look forward to seeing everyone and more people next year, exept dear lord let it be cooler!Who misses splatmaster? :shooting:
I know I do! :headbang:Comment

I agree with Kahuna that Bill Shatner (and his wife Elizabeth) were out on the field playing for most of the game. Unfortunately, Bill's jersey was stolen prior to the event, so he wasn't as readily identifiable as in the past as he was wearing a jersey kindly offered up by another player.Comment

that was a great game! great field! and great people! it felt great shooting side by side with The Don on that last game. in my 6-7 years of playing paintball that had to have been the most fun i have ever had. i cant wait til next years game, im sure it will be even better. good job to the blue team, Mr. Shatner and his wife Elizabeth. the only thing that i'm wondering is, where did the cow run off to? i really enjoyed seeing all of the tanks that were brought also. it was quite fun running along side the tank during one of The Don's missions. but great job both teams and next year will be fun.Always always always pillage before you burn!!!

Everyone thanks for the compliments! My thanks goes to Pacman and Mother for really making this happen for us all!
I can tell you Bill was on the field more than I was. His morning mission was to hit my base with a tank round so you might not have seen him riding in the tank. By late afternoon he was still strategizing a couple moves against me when he got light headed after about 3:30 so he came out and took a break until the final battle.
His wife Eliz was in the thick of it too! She was in the fort and one of the last to die when we captured it in the morning. She came back in after shooting ALL 1000 ROUNDS OF PAINT she was carrying. I swear to God she asked if she could get a bigger pack but I told her she didnt have enough air.
Mancow twisted his ankle and left for the hospital about 3:00pm He paged me about it but my pager was at the hotel and we didnt find out where he went until midnight.

Well then I guess I just wasn't in the right places to see them. My bad luck. Thanks again to all who worked on this and volunteered their time. I can honestly say this is always the best event of the year for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Liz kicked butt out there! She was out in the forest with us in the morning during one especially rough battle, and she just never stopped advancing. We were all very impressed.Last edited by Mighty Wingman; 09-06-2004, 06:35 PM.

all i have to say is... who ever was in the Shatner fort in the beginning when Red overran it pulled one heck of a nice shot on me as i tried to enter... im not sure but i dont think he saw me and he was shooting the other guy that snuck around the side and he popped me in the mask... anyways i had a load of fun and i just want to thank everyone at the AGD booth for flashing the purple Xmag and making the warp work... er stupid warp
anyways i had a blast and will definetly be back next year...

Most fun I've had in a very long time. Assaulting Shatner's base twice in one day was fun. The final battle was crazy. I got AGDJon to wear he needed to be to lock down the left side of that temple/hill. Me and my grenades did that. Yup, they sure did. I came back and threw (with my hands) four pods of paint because I was out of air. Now thats what I call a blast of dedication. Thanks to all that made this victory happen. Thanks to everyone that made this event happen. Special thanks to Smoke for coming up with the idea to make the propoganda posters while we were at work. I had almost as much fun pinning those up in Shatner's base and Bedlam as I did assaulting the temple in the final battle.

I had such an amazing time, I want to thank Mother for choosing my shirt design as well as other things, I want to thank alot of the players for saying nice things about the shirt and even asking for me to sign it. I BIG BIG BIG thank you has to go to William Shatner, Mr. Shatner was incredibly nice and signed my shirt. I found out later that he wasn't really supposed to do that cuase they were selling signed shirts for 75 bucks to raise for charity but that just shows you what a nice guy he is. My dad and I made a small donation towards the charity as our way to show our appreciation.
As for most amazing moments one has to be capturing the fort alongside Mrs. Shatner. I was very impressed with her skill, and her down to earthed-ness. She smoked some red shirt in the head and I said "Nice shot" she replied with "Thats what they tell me" and we did a kuckle fist high five kinda thingy.
I mean, in retrospect it was kinda surreal. As well as standing next to shatner in the final battle when we both got greased by a guy with an automag. I was surprise that he went that far up on the line.
Tom, you and your team brought it hard and I want to congratulate you. I hope everyone had fun and I hope no one got hurt. Thanks for the memories.Comment

Final Battle
NeonGene, you may have been up there with me right aroung the time that you two got waxed. I was the guy that took one in the head while guarding Shatner in the final battle. The felt hat that I was wearing was split by the force of that particular close-range hit, but I died proudly defending my General (Captain!!).
I got to play the red-shirted Ensign for real. My proudest moment.
As for Shatner's wherabouts during the game he was always on the front lines... PLAYING PAINTBALL! I thought it was awesome. We was in that tank forever, and Elizabeth was right in there too. I got to talk to her for a few minutes in one of the reinsertion areas and she was great. Well worth the trouble.
I did notice that the Vita Water seemed to send people into cramping fits throughout the day... not a good thing.
Thank you to everyone who made it happen. I guess that Tom was due a win.
On a final note... I got 91 mosquito bites in one day. Thank God I got to meet Shatner or I would be miserable now. I can soothe my wounds with the memories.
